When I read the title, I thought there was a chance it would be a decent DUmp post.  No one's really for animal abuse.

Boy, was I ever wrong!

Note to the mods: I realize that this is not really a political post, but it is way too grim for the Lounge and is a well-justified call for help in getting this hideous group of videos off of YouTube. I just want it to be seen by as many people as possible since I'm posting at 4:30 on a Sunday morning. If you feel it should be moved then I understand.



There is this son of a bitch on Youtube who has put up five different videos entitled "Don't Pet This Kitty!"

I was on there doing a search for talking cats, and from there I found some videos of "angry" cats. Most of these were short, 20 second videos of cats who were freaked by the presence of a video camera. They'd bat at the camera a couple times or maybe hiss and then run off.

The person I'm talking about (user name babylonsfalling) has these five videos up (at least), and in every one he's intentionally causing this poor little white cat to lose its mind. He's kicking at the cat, poking it, and putting his camera within inches of the cat's face. Each video is at least 30 seconds long. In one of them you can hear a woman in the background who says something in apparent protest but does nothing to stop this abuse.

Click the link to each video and then immediately pause it if you don't have the stomach for this. Below each video is a selection marked "Flag". When you click on that you can select Animal Abuse from a sub-menu. Please flag each of these five videos. If you have an account and can leave comments you can also make a suggestion that Youtube release the ISP of the person posting these to the appropriate authorities. At the end of the last video the poster has a title card which says "A Babylonsfalling Production". Maybe not enough to prove for sure that this is his cat, but at least it leaves little doubt that he is directly responsible for the videos.

My wife and I would both appreciate any help you can provide in - at least - getting these horrible videos off of Youtube. Thank you for your time. I'll also post this in GD because I think it's important enough to go there, and the mods can make their own decision about whether to remove that crosspost or not. Here are the five links:

Watch the videos.  That's not some horrible abuse and the cat is hardly without options.  I mean, geez, I do worse to my cats on a regular basis (esp. when they decide to take a crap in one of our bedrooms).

I was watching one of those videos a few days ago.   I think the cat was wild to begin with, and the person filming didn't do anything to piss the cat off, other than to poke at him. 

But I could be wrong.  *shrugs*

Spamming it, in fact.  This is from one of the videos:

The cat's not in a cage or trapped in any way.   ::)  We mess with our cats like this, too...though they don't get quite that mad.  The human normally loses these things, cat claws really hurt.

Take a tube sock and put it over Kiteahs head. You'll loff and loff and Kiteah will be pissed but it doesn't hurt anything but whatever gets knocked over.
